Nintendo Direct: new presentation announced for tomorrow

There has to be more to this Direct than that list, I'm thinking the ninjas deliberately planted false information in order to flush out the mole and whoever it is took the bait.
 
From the financial sector obviously. Buying a virtual product and being able to access it from multiple devices never really needed its own term, see Android and iOS devices.

Mm, it's a clever marketing term, despite Sony not being the first to pull it off (Valve offered cross-platform purchases across Windows and Mac, Apple did it with iPad and iPhone), nor the best (developers need to make a separate version of each game for each platform).

Even Microsoft's using the term now (personally I prefer Valve's SteamPlay).

Considering this seems to be a list of European announcements (hence the lack of anything brand new) I've not lost all hype just yet. They almost always have something at the start and end for worldwide announcements.
 
So, if the leak is true, Europe gets the FE Fates Special Edition, too? That's the one where both game cartridges are in, right?

... I already see myself F5-ing amazon.de like a madman again.

Both games from the separate standard carts, as well as the only way to get the third path on a cart (Birthright, Conquest, and Revelation, which are all full-length campaigns).

Still hype since even if this leak is real we don't know what the worldwide announcements will be.

Zelda U footage believe.
I would be happy with a short gameplay video at this point (like the last one which was 13 seconds). I doubt it though :(

Pretty rediculous you have to doubt we'll see new footage for a game that was supposed to launch last year considering we've seen fuck all since E3 2014 (anything different that is). I want it for NX so it makes sense to hold back until you announce it as a crossplat but I don't care, I want to see it. You know the only reason Nintendo didn't hype it at E3 2015 was because they didn't want to get fans too excited for something that wasn't going to be exclusive. That's why people were able to guess it was headed to NX the day of the delay announcement a year ago - because it just didn't make sense that it wouldn't be at E3 after being there at the last E3. I still feel the aftermath of the salt that caused me. Because I knew immediately I wouldn't even get to see the game for a full year let alone play it. Here we are a year later, and still n o t h i n g.

It was at The Game Awards 2014. Although all that really showed was horse riding and the size of the map.

As someone who has spent 10k hours in the franchise since 2004 and is unable to play mh on a 3ds. The tears will not be tasty.

Okay I always see people list ridiculously high play times for games but I feel like this one is just absurd. There's less than 10k hours in a year. This also means that you would have spent about five years playing MH as much as someone would spend in a full time job (40 hours a week x 52 weeks = 2160 hours).

I mean I think it's possible but that's just crazy to me.
 
Rewatching the Zelda game awards 2014 thing is so funny

"And you're sure this game is coming out next year?"

"Positive! The team is hard at work. Hey Miyamoto, how's Star Fox?"

"Great! It'll release before Zelda next year!"

I started the franchise when i was 14. Take from that what you will.

Can't wait to hear more about Metroid Prime Federation Force.
I seriously wish this game would get delayed to NX so it could also be played on home consoles.

Even funnier considering Twilight Princess releases tomorrow, a game we didn't even expected to see at that time.

I don't know why we should trust a picture of a screen with folders, I thought that trend was over. BUT the Monster Hunter Generations thing is weird indeed.

If this SNES things is real, I'll buy them all. Both of them.
 
Wasn't it announced the same time as NA?

I've had mine preordered here in Australia for ages.
Can't remember, but amazon.de only has the Birthright and Conquest versions up for preorder, no special edition.

Haven't checked Amazon UK or France though. Still, after amazon.fr f*cking up my Fallout 4 Pip Boy Edition delivery, resulting in me getting the game more than a week too late, i'd prefer to get a chance at amazon.de. ^^

~and then we never heard anything about Zelda again~

I'm regularly checking all possible Amazons (.de, .fr, .es, .it), but the SE is nowhere to be found :( Yet! I hope this changes in the evening!

I'm excited to see what we're going to get in the Nindies section. Feels like it has been a while since I played a decent indie on my Wii U.

I'm actually quite curious about Metroid FF, after the backlash I wonder what they have done with it. Kept just developing it as if nothing happened? Or complete overhaul?
